An individual may bring their hands to their face when feeling sad or jump into the air when feeling happy.

Combining computing, psychology and performing arts, the researchers developed an annotated human movement dataset that may improve the ability of artificial intelligence to recognize the emotions expressed through body language.An individual may bring their hands to their face when feeling sad or jump into the air when feeling happy.
